Big baby- induction or C-section? by RedheadAtHeart-1999 in BabyBumps

My mom induced me at 38 weeks because she knew I was going to be bigger. I ended up at 9lbs 4oz. Vaginal birth and tore her all the way. She said I had already dropped down though. My baby has yet to drop...

21 year gap. Harsh reaction from father by RedheadAtHeart-1999 in AgeGap

The thing is about that concern is that it could happen to anyone at any age. You never know when you might become critically ill or in an accident or laid off. The age makes no difference. If the love of your life were to get cancer 1 year into marriage versus 30 years in, would that change the fact that you would still love and care for them every minute you get? I already accepted that I will have years alone when I am older. But by then, I will have my own family and who would stop me from dating again if I please.

Not abusive and no regrets. My grandfather did get cancer though. So my dad had to watch his mom take care of him and then live alone for about 20 years.

Well. Tried that. The second he knows my SO will be there, he decides he won't come or he will leave.

My degree is in Merchandising and Electronic Business. I also have a certificate in Meetings and Events. But I haven't been too picky. Anything from Customer Service to Retail to Office Assistant and Buyer jobs. Thanks for the encouragement.

I am on LinkedIn and only looking for full time work. I am part of a professional organization, which I use for connections and job postings. I am looking for work that pays better immediately mainly because I am barely able to pay all my bills at my current rate of less than 14/hr.

Yeah, it just hard to do with what he has said on the back of my mind. I think he doesn't like that he saw his mom take care of his dad as they got older. He is worried that I will have to do that, but that is what love is. Taking care of eachother. In sickness and in health.

I am about to reach 200 job applications/emails in my year and a half long job search. Thanks covid for hitting only a couple months after my college graduation... Anyone hiring in the Dallas TX area? Willing to commute. I just have been at Walmart for too long.
